president jacob m loeb break is unexpected the break with the city federation came unexpectedly at the meeting of that body yesterday president john j fitzpatrick of the city federation presented a report recommending withdrawal he said my reasons are as follows first â€” because of rule 93a of the Chicago board of education known as loeb rule no 1 prohib iting under penalty of dismissal membership by teachers in labor unions or in organizations of teach ers affiliated with trade unions or a federation or association of trade unions second â€” because the supreme court of Illinois ordered the in junction dissolved which restrained the board of education from en forcing the loeb rule dismissals are cited third â€” because while the Chicago teachers federation was testing the validity of this rule the board june 27 1915 dropped from service thirty-eight efficient teachers who were officers and members of the Chicago teachers federation all were recommended for re-election

aegean and the bal tic and eventually forming the back bone of a prussian world empire to the persian gulf with the present central allies absorbed follows bismarck's development policy in the light of german history th plan shows the kaiser has followed implicitly the blood and iron politico economic methods of bismarck for development of prussian power considered in view of the present war map it shows the major portion of the kaiser's war program has been accomplished regardless of what disposition is made of cc - quered territory in france belgium and russia full realization of this
